Hazhir Rahmandad

I was born in 1978 and was brought up in Iran. As most other Sharif
graduates I can be considered more of a nerd (Tizhooshan high school,
Gold medalist of Chemistry olympiad, Top student of department in
undergrad, admission to MIT etc), nevertheless, I like sports, music
and social interaction more. I am mostly interested in the dynamics of
change in social systems and more specifically about learning, which is
my current research area. As a system dynamicist I make computer models
of social systems to enhance our understanding about how social systems
change and evolve through time, interested in learning, I try to find
out ways for transfering such insights to non-social-scientists. I
started my PhD in M.I.T.'s sloan school of management at 2000 and hope
to be done by 2005.
